Setting a duct fitting

With the “Set duct fitting” workflow, two ducts are connected to one another via a fitting. In the Industry Model options, various conditions that influence the workflow can be activated.

Procedure

Start the workflow in Workflow Explorer > Duct workflows > Set duct fitting by double-clicking it, from the context menu or by clicking the mceclip1.png button in the lower right area of the workflow explorer:

or in the NET Planning tab:

Note
Duct connections can also be added in the duct connection editor.

If the “Select duct-connection model in the workflow” option has been activated, the query for the fitting model (fitting type) will appear in the workflow.

The segment must be selected in the graphic that contains the corresponding duct or the duct itself is selected. The duct can be selected from the graphic or from the segment cross section.

The ducts assigned to the segment are displayed in a tree view and a duct can be selected.

Note
If subordinate ducts are disconnected in the “Disconnect ducts” workflow, the higher-layer duct is automatically connected to a fitting at the disconnection point.

NET Settings

The workflow is carried out depending on which NET Settings have been selected.
